The news people are still very unsure about how many of you are in there. Richard Bennett has said about 50. There is very little news other than this. Dick and Tom Nickel have called us in concern. You may want to send an email to whatever police or university security forces you can contact if you haven't already. The professor inside talking on a phone to the TV reporters says that emails are being exchanged, and if you're not part of that you may want to join it.

Let me know if you have any questions I can try to find out the answers to.

I heard this terrible news. If there is anything I can do for you, please do let me know.
Hope everyone is okay.

I don't know if you can see the news. They report that the gunman is moving about the building (some report of he is on the rooftop with high-power rifle). I would suggest that lock the door, turn off the lights, and hide in someplace like closet.

No contact has been made between the police and this person yet. They are broadcasting a number to call for this person to call.

We're ok. Please, please go home. It's much better to be away from here. That would make me really happy. please. When this ends I want to run to the car and leave and I can't do that if I'm worried about finding you. Please.

Col - When you come out they are not going to let you go to your car immediately. They'll probably take you to a gathering place, Strosaker. I can't go home. I have to be here. Is Fred communicating with his wife? Can I call her for him?

I really want you to go home. We are going to make a run for it when this is over and ignore what people tell us to do. Please go home. It will be much better. Your parents are worried -- your dad called.

Nice try getting me to leave the campus. I'm at the university library. Please respond if you can. There is no way that they'll let you simply go home after this is done. I'm hearing that you will be interviewed by the police /FBI and then brought to the library.

Well, you guys are something else... I never underestimate your ability to get your way, but actually, this library is quite nice and so I think I'll stay here for awhile and wait for you to come by when you feel like it...

By the way, not to give you a guilt trip, but knowing your sense of humor you might appreciate this... On my way to the garage to meet you, a TV reporter stopped me and I told him I was going to see my wife who had been freed! They're showing the footage over and over and I'm very famous right now.
